We are back!

So, we are back for real! With sadness I had to say bye bye to the Olympics, but just for another four years. It was good while it lasted. Now we are back to normal schedule. Here are some pictures of Taylor and McKay at Ella's birthday party. It was supposed to be a pool birthday party, but it rained on us that day (Crazy weather we are having right now!), so they ended up changing the party theme. It was still lots of fun for everyone. Taylor and McKay got the chance to decorate their own princess crowns and cupcakes, and played games with huge balloons. They had a good time. Happy Birthday Ella!

Olympicmania

It has been a busy couple of weeks, but I am back. . . for now. I confess that one of the things that has taken up my time, especially this last week, is the Summer Olympics. I am a Summer Olympics fan and I love watching all the athletic events if I can ( Hey, it only happens once every four years, so I've got to take advantage). I think the athletes are amazing and it's just so great to watch them perform at their best.
Anyway, what I have specifically loved about these Olympics is the time at home we all have spent watching the Olympic events. Amazingly, my girls love to watch them! I realized that they especially enjoy watching the synchronized diving and beach volleyball events. We have pushed their bedtime a little later so they can get the chance to watch them and it's been fun. They can sit there together and watch until it's time to go to bed without fighting with each other once. Aren't the Olympics great!!

Happy 29th Birthday to Me!

Believe it or not! (I personally don't) I turned 29 years old yesterday! I have to write it down and say it out loud so it can finally sink in. I say it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be since I am still young and what's one more year, right? Well, Ben tells everybody that my age is "Almost 30." Yep, you gotta love this guy. The only way I can get back at him is by reminding him which one of us two really looks almost 30. Anyway, I am as happy as can be (for someone my age), and very thankful that my Heavenly Father has given me one more year to be on this earth and celebrate it with the people I love. Yes! It is a Happy Birthday to ME!
